OK. The dialogue after reinstall sounds promising. It would also resolve the case, when a user has accidentally deleted a config file. No way to get it back, at least not intuitively. I am not sure, but the problem may be that dpkg still assumes that the file is present. Where would I have to check the sources for an implementation? --- ** [feature-requests:#245] Replacement/Update of ConfFiles** **Status:** open **Group:** **Created:** Sun Mar 05, 2017 03:04 PM UTC by K.-M.

The only way is a purge, install sequence, which is a pain, when there is a large number of dependences. My suggestions is that with install or update there is a dialogue about which version to take similar to the one, when such a file has been changed manually, and with reinstall the file is replaced without dialogue. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because [email protected] is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/feature-requests/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/admin/feature-requests/options.
